Without bread, flour would be so abundant it'd coat the entire earth in a fine white powder, causing museum curators to accidentally collect hibernating bears that appear petrified. Keep flour where it belongs with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of sandwiches, freshly baked breads, baked goods, drinks, and more at Great Harvest Bread Co.. This Groupon is only valid for the Boise location of Great Harvest Bread Co.

Stop in this summer to sample just-baked raisin cinnamon swirl bread and high 5 fiber bread, with freshly baked hamburger buns and sandwich trays making ideal companions to picnics, backyard barbecues, or midnight games of thumb wrestling. Clients can dine on full-fledged bread creations from Great Harvest's café menu, which boasts plenty of well-stacked sandwich selections. Mounds of turkey layered with avocado spread and homemade mayo provide a substantial base for the turkey avocado club ($4.75). Veggielantes can try the veggie sandwich, a famed fill-up loaded with cucumber, sunflower sprouts, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and veggie cream cheese spread ($4.75), and kids can nosh on a PB&J ($2.50) sandwich, bringing together the sworn enemies of peanut butter and jelly in homemade harmony. Freshly made sides and treats round out the menu.

Great Harvest’s devotion to the art of bread making is audible in the early morning, when its on-site mill softly hums as it grinds grain into flour. All the freshly ground flour is used within a day after it's milled, so loaves plump superbly in the oven. Each freshly baked bread bundle has been kneaded individually by hand and comes out of the oven with an old-timey, fun-to-slice irregularity.
